           Summary: compact.exe missing
           Product: Wine
           Version: 8.10
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2

Hello,

I wanted to use "compact.exe," which is a part of the default Windows 10
installation. I selected "Windows 10" in winecfg, and it appears that
compact.exe is missing. I need this program to compress my content (cars, apps,
etc.) in Assetto Corsa's Content Manager to reduce their size. I have very
limited storage available, and this program (compact.exe) would be extremely
helpful. I believe it should be relatively simple to implement this since we
could use a Linux compression and decompression tool.

Are there any plans to implement this?

Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Tim Gromeyer

This is specifically an NTFS feature, I don't think anyone is working on this.
It might be possible to use some Linux tools to enable per-directory
compression on NTFS mounts.

Otherwise you could try using zfs or btrfs volumes, and enable compression on
them.
